Washington Letter to Baltimore -inteTicdn.
George Starr, a very well-known Sim
pressario," 50 to speak, in the matter of
amusements, announces that he has ''se-
cured" the head of Guiteau, the assassin of
President Garfield, and that he will exhibit
it at Brighton. He tells a readable story of
how he bought the head from Prof. E. NJ.
Worth, great collector of curiosities This
is how Prof. Worth came in possession of
the head, at least, as told by the present
owner. 1t is sufficiently gruesome to be in
teresting reading, and everybody knows
that, with showmen, truth is altogether an
incidental affair about q wear age" he
says, Prof Worth received several letters,
signed fictitiously, stating that Guiteau's
head was intact, in perfect preservation.
The Professor replied to these letters, and at
last secured an interview with the writers.
He found that he was dealing with respon-
sible persons, and that there could be no
question as to the truth of their statements.
Guteaus head had been removed, placed in
alcohol and hidden in the cellar of residence
in Washington.
"Only two persons knew of its where
abouts, and for a year or two the people
living in the house slept in peaceful igno-
rance of the fact that portion of Guiteau
was soaking in spirits beneath them. Prof.
Worth finally secured the head. He sue

appearance. he tried TO have al square glass

MONTREAL, May 20. - Matters be-
tween the Canadian Pacific Rail
road Company and the Mani.
toba provincial government over
the construction of rival road to the
boundary line have reached a
climax. The provincial legislature
wants to grant charters giving this priv
ilege despite the opposition of the
federal government, and notwithstand-
ing the monopoly clauses of the great
Trans-Co Continental Company. George
Stephen, president of the Canadian
Pacific, wired Premier Norguay, of
Manitoba. last night, stating that if the
latter's intention of granting ascharter
to the Northern Pacific to build an in
dependent line from the boundary line
to Winnipeg is carried out, the result
will be disastrous to that city. He in
effect threatens to establish the princi-
pal western shops of the railroad at Fort
William. 1t is understood that the
Canadian Pacific officers also tele-
graphed subsequently threatening to
build direct line from Selkirk to Port
age La Prairie, thus giving Winnipeg
the go-by.

Commissioner Walker asked witness
what answer he could make to the
charge that by their system of rates
the transcontinental lines prevented the
growth of any manufacturing interests
on the coast?
The witness said rates had never been
made in the interest of any manutac-
turing interests. They resulted from
the competition of business. He would
not admit that the system of rates
tended to prevent any development OF
local manufacturers.
Commissioner Walker-Do you con-
slider the interest of any particular
manufacturing interest, or do you
look out for number one?
Witness-As far as nay relation to the
company is concerned, l look out for
its interests, but / think an enlightened,
selfish view of the case would require
the company to care for the interests
along its line.
Commissioner Walker referred to the
COMPLAINT alleged to have been made by
the California wool growers. and asked
II 1t is possible for them to ship through

policy of his company had
been to admit competition only as far
as it exists. He meant from the exterior

Cargoes on the passage and for ship
